org.xml.sax.SAXException: The encoding "ASCII" is not supported
Hi,
i am using xerces (tried both, DOM and SAX) and get the following
exception:
org.xml.sax.SAXException: The encoding "ASCII" is not supported
my code:
...
Parser parser =
ParserFactory.makeParser("org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser");
parser.setDocumentHandler(this);
parser.setErrorHandler(this);
parser.parse(myURL);
...
The XML i want to parse:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ASCII" ?>
<connector_desc>
<app_desc name="MainApp" buffersize="0" urlVersion="2">
<instance id="1" port="1823" host="ibm-01" />
<instance id="2" port="1824" host="ibm-01" />
</app_desc>
</connector_desc>
Enable/disable validation doesn't change anything :((
Does this really mean that the parser can't parse US-ASCII ?
cu,
hal

Earlier version of Java did not recognize the encoding name "ASCII".
You can try "US-ASCII" instead, but even that fails in 1.3 and
earlier, possibly in 1.3, (I'd have to check the exact versions.)
Best just to say "UTF-8". All ASCII documents are simultaneously
legal UTF-8 documents.
